In the war in Ukraine, troops on both sides are getting supplies from crowd-funders.
says its aim “is to incentivize donations for the needs of Ukraine and thereby bring our victory closer.” The volunteers say they've helped raise $750,000 by baring all.
“We make sure that the photos are not pornographic. This is beautiful, aesthetic erotica,” said Nastya Kuchmenko, one of the group's co-founders. “It’s not about objectifying the body, it’s about the freedom to use your body as you want.”On the opposing side, some Russians, including soldiers' mothers, also are getting supplies to troops.
“The guys on the front line who are dying for the right to be Russians, who are fighting for our common freedom, will greatly appreciate any help you can offer,” Mikhail Kuznetsov, a United People’s Front executive, said of the drive for front-line gear and medicines. “They will win in any case, but they will win faster and with smaller casualties if we help them.”The foundation run by Prytula, the TV personality, prioritizes its aid for units in combat hot spots.
The foundation says it has raised more than $34 million since the invasion began, mostly as donations — ranging from pennies to a businessman's gift in cryptocurrency of $1.3 million. The foundation also auctionedwon and then donated by Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra and raffled the bright bucket hat worn by its frontman. Together, they fetched $1.25 million.
The foundation says it has fulfilled 2,200 orders from units in just the last two months. On the receiving end, the troops or volunteers who make the deliveries take photos to prove that aid is being used as intended.“Ukrainians are a nation of volunteers and we can do unimaginable things together,” said Maria Pysarenko, who works with Prytula. “It's also about not just the fundraising but community-building and showing that, ‘Yes, we can.
